Answer 1

The correct option is A Loss of elasticity of the muscular layer

Varicose veins are the swelling of the veins that are present under the skin. This is due to the loss of elasticity in the walls of the veins that causes them to stretch out and slows down the blood to move back to the heart. This leads to increased blood pressure and the veins underneath the skin will swell. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
